0002956: wishlist: use $XDG_DATA_HOME/freecad for system.cfg and user.cfg

Description

Every time I open FreeCAD, it creates ~/.FreeCAD/, and when I close it, it creates ~/.FreeCAD/system.cfg and ~/.FreeCAD/user.cfg. As $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is already used, it would be great if FreeCAD could use $XDG_DATA_HOME, too.
